Cakebread Cellars Reviews: 2005 Chardonnay Anderson Valley

2005 Chardonnay
Anderson Valley

Wine Enthusiast logo

October 2008
A really good Chardonnay, elegant and refined. Shows fine Chard character with its powerful tropical fruit flavors and creamy, buttery mouthfeel. And what a long, smooth, spicy finish.
Wine Enthusiast gave this wine a score of 92 points.
